I've been following Gary Jackson's blog for a while now. The textures he gets from stamping clay is amazing. He has hundreds of stamps he's made himself and uses different combinations to get beautiful effects. So after oohing and aaahing over his work for ages I thought I'd have a go at making my own stamps...
